A special court of the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) on Saturday sentenced PTI founder Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi to 17 years imprisonment in the Toshakhana-2 case.
The verdict was delivered by Special Judge Central Shahrukh Arjumand. The case pertains to the purchase of an expensive Bulgari jewellery set at a throwaway price.
Imran was sentenced to a total of 17 years in prison; he was awarded 10-year rigorous imprisonment under Section 409 (criminal breach of trust) and seven years under Section 5(2)47 (criminal misconduct by public servants) of the Prevention of Corruption Act.
Bushra Bibi was also sentenced to a total of 17 years’ imprisonment under the same provisions.
The two were indicted in the case last year in December.
